Jail

[His_child]

This thread reminds me of something that happened to me about last summer on a Christian board where I was an administrative moderator.
I didn't know very much about moderating the chat rooms (my speciality was forums) and I had to go in a take care of a trouble maker.
I locked the trouble maker in jail. I had to go into the jail area and explain to him what he did wrong. Unfortunately when I did that, I locked myself in jail too.
I had to ask the one of the other moderators to let me out of jail.
They started threads in my honor teasing me about that one for days!

    Pretty good, justme.   So you could actually lock someone in there, huh.


I'd sorta hoped CU was the first to have a "jail".


What IS the difference between a chat room and a forum, anyway?

The difference between chat and forums is that chat is generally a couple of people in a "room" talking (ok, typing). It's "live" so to speak. Sometimes they are all invovled in the same conversation, sometimes not.

Forums are message boards where you can respond to something that someone said a few weeks or even a few months ago, or something they may have said a minute earlier.

I started off on the net about 6 or 7 years ago, hanging out mostly in Christian chat rooms. About 5 years ago, someone encouraged me to post homeschooling question in a homeschool forum. I was hooked!

Although both are great ways for Christians to fellowship and witness, I do have a preference for forums.

Regarding locking myself in jail, my family had a hard time letting me live that one down too.
However, my husband and neighbor lead a jail ministry and they did promise to come visit me every Saturday and Tuesday.

Oh I see.  Yep, forums definately more my speed.  I like to take my time.

It's easier to enoy a good cup 'o Joe while reading through forums.

Oklahoma Howdy to Reba,

   Sister, you wouldn't be thinking about that hilarious episode where Barney locked himself in the cell and Andy was walking out with the key, WOULD YOU?

I love that show! It's one of my all time favorites.

It's comforting to know that we're all so easily entertained.

Oklahoma Howdy to Symphony,

Brother, Christians have many excellent reasons to be the happiest people on the earth.

Give us a laugh and I promise that I will work on higher quality material to give you a laugh.  

Love In Christ,
Tom

I remember the unlocked jail cells, sometimes open some times closed. Always unlocked though.
I vaguly remember the show where Gomer arrested Barney...... many many years ago. *sigh*

scampering off before I get tossed in jail. :eek:

Oklahoma Howdy to Dreamweaver,

Oh YES, I remember that one. It was over an improper turn that Barney made just a day after giving Gomer a ticket for the same thing. Gomer is running down the street after the police car hollering "Citizen's Arrest".  

Love In Christ,
Tom
